title: AFP negative cystic liver lesion in a child should let one think of hepatoblastoma.
abstract: AFP is still the most important serologic marker for the hepatoblastoma as the most common liver tumor in children. An AFP negative hepatoblastoma is rare. We present the first documented case of an infant with an AFP negative and cystic liver lesion later diagnosed as a fetal hepatoblastoma.
